Refine the Call-off Terms and Conditions

Refine the Call-off Terms and Conditions

The Call-off Terms and Conditions documents were agreed with Providers when setting up the National LGPS Framework for Actuarial, Benefits and Governance Consultancy Services Framework.

Areas highlighted in yellow along with drafting notes within this document need to be reviewed and completed by you. Your updated version of the Call-Off Terms and Conditions must be issued to Providers with your Invitation to Further Competition, or as part of your Direct Award.

Additional Variations

You must outline any additional variations to the agreed Call-Off Terms and Conditions. These may include refinements to address specific circumstances that could not be anticipated when the Framework was established, subject to procurement law constraints.

Consider whether alternative clauses are needed to reflect the legal requirements of Scottish or Northern Irish jurisdictions. You should also ensure that insurance and liability levels are appropriate for your local needs.

Price Increases

The Ceiling Prices remain fixed for the duration of the Framework. However, you have the option to set out in clause 3.2.7 of the Call-off Terms and Conditions if you wish the contract price to be fixed for the duration of the contract or if you wish to offer a review date.

Any increase should not exceed the percentage change in the Office of National Statistics’ Consumer Price Index (or another other such index as notified to the Contractor in writing).
